Launch external application with data

[peterb58]

Hi

Is it possible to launch and external application from with in CRXI report and provide it data from the currently viewed details.
The report will be viewed from CR Report Server ( or something like Jeff-Net Runner ).
From within our own report system, we can drill down to some particular details, then launch another application and view the complete customers details. We would like to try and re-create this if possible.

many thanks

Pete

Consider a 3rd-party tool as a solution (for a list of such tools, see

http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html).

My DataLink Viewer software provides this type of functionality. See the user manual section on "Launch another Application and Pass Parameters to It."

You could try using URL Hyperlinking from one CR to another.

CRS supports OpenDoc URL syntax which allows a cantextual value or values to be passed from one report to another
